Answer:
y = -1/5 + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the point (1,2) for the x and the y in the equation, set the 4 to b since we are solving for b.
2 = -5(1) + b now solve for b
2 = -5 + b
+5 +5
7 = b
we know that the slope must be the reciprocal for it to be perpendicular
y = -1/5 + 7 add b (7) to the equation and change the reciprocal
